In 3 Minutes for God the Father

GOD’S CONCERN IS MINE

Author ElijaPosted on

“God’s concern is mine.  Nothing that concerns Him is foreign to me.”  (St Bernard of Clairvaux).

These are the words of a soul aflame with love, who has already come very close to our Heavenly Father and whom He has filled with His love. The intimacy between St Bernard and our Father is palpable, and we recognise this profound relationship in another beautiful sentence in which he invites his brothers to draw near to the Father. In this loving invitation, which we will hear next, we see how he had made God’s cause his own, because we know very well that our Father longs ardently for all people to be close to Him, to know Him, to honour Him and to love Him. Then He will be able to give them all that He has in store for them.

They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first; and stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying, and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples went back to their homes.
